No such problems here Frozzie. Last year I asked a local electrician if they had any cable reels that they were throwing away. I got about a dozen and wound the lights on it. Thanking myself this year when I got them out.

Good idea twitterpated...well I finally got them untangled ..I had rolled up some very neatly but others I obviously didnt lol!  Will be paying more attention to them this year..a pain getting them all untangled..

tree pics coming but for the moment I have my hands full..DD has picked up a gastro bug..LOTS of fun lol!  Luckily DH could get an hour off work to go pick up DS from school and drop him home..

I haven't had a Christmas tree for years as I am usually away for the holidays.

However, from time to time I have set out some decorations.  This from several years ago.



Christmas time is puppy time in most basenji houses. 
Unlike other breeds, basenjis only come in season once a year in the fall (northern hemisphere) and most puppies are born in December and January.
The seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere and after I got a girl from OZ in the mid '70s, her first litter was in June.  She switched over to our seasonal routine the following year.

New additions this year are the large feathered partridge, lollipops &  cupcakes.  I kept the gingers and houses this year....because I really like them.

Absolutely beautiful Maddy. I may be doing the same as CP. My DH really doesn't like Christmas at all. I think he tolerates it as DD and I get so much fun from it. He always rushes out at 4.30 Christmas Eve to do his shopping and what makes me cross is that he always gets what he went to buy, they have never run out. At least he doesn't forget and I do love him for all his idiosyncrasies.
